2016 Melbourne Didgeridoo and Cultural Festival

Come along and enjoy a family day of Music, culture, dance, art, food, workshops and kids activities.

Join us at as we celebrate one of the Oldest Musical Instruments on the Planet – The Yidaki (Didgeridoo), instrument of the World's Oldest Living Indigenous Culture - 75,000 years young!

The festival will celebrate one of the world's oldest wind instruments, with the festival being endorsed by the local Wurundjeri people on whose land the festival is held, and further endorsed by the traditional owners and custodians of the Yidaki (Didgeridoo) the Yolngu people of NE Arnhem Land.

The festival will showcase the didgeridoo and Aboriginal culture through music, song, dance and storytelling. Players and musicians from both indigenous and non-indigenous communities, locally and globally come together to celebrate this unique Australian instrument.

Each year our festival recognises both traditional and contemporary playing styles including recent contemporary styles emerging with fusions of Didgeridoo, Guitar, Violin, Japanese Flute (Shakuhachi) and Dance-loops to name just a few.

There will be activities for the kids and a variety of food vendors and stalls to enjoy or perhaps, have a go at one of the Didgeridoo workshops. Who knows what you'll experience!
